Rosewill Tachyon Series 1000W Power Supply Review

Final Thoughts and Conclusions

The new Rosewill Tachyon-1000 proved to be a good performer and offers solid features at a competitive price in the 1000W category. Voltage regulation, AC ripple suppression, and build quality were all very good. Our test unit struggled a little in meeting the 80Plus Platinum efficiency criteria but as we explained earlier this is most likely due to the difference between our real-world, elevated operating temperatures and the 80Plus organizations “room temperature” standard. The Tachyon-1000 features both fixed and modular cables which will appeal to some users and disappoint those looking for 100% modular.

The Tachyon-1000 power supply is currently selling for $189.99 USD (Newegg.com, February 2013).
